Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have arrested a 48-year-old businessman, Orizu Ifeanyi Arthur, while attempting to board an Air France flight 844 from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja to Paris, France for ingesting 74 wraps of heroin and cocaine.
Orizu was arrested at the boarding gate of the Abuja airport on Sunday, December 22, 2024 during the outward clearance of passengers on Air France, NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement on Sunday.
Babafemi said, “When he was pulled aside for body scan, he turned down the request claiming his medical condition won’t allow him.
“He was thereafter taken into custody for excretion observation during which he excreted a total of 74 wraps of the Class A drugs over a period of seven days.
“In his statement, Orizu claimed he owns a shop at Balogun market, Lagos Island where he sells school and travelling bags, adding that he was promised 3,000 Euros upon successful delivery of the consignment in Paris. He left his base in Lagos for the Abuja airport to connect his Air France flight to Paris, hoping to escape detection.”
